Abstract
A 35-month-old Japanese Black cow was presented to a local veterinarian with a main complaint of premature labor. There was no swelling of lymph nodes on the body surface and no palpable mass on rectal examination. Although atypical lymphocytes were observed in the peripheral blood, no lymphocytosis was recorded. On Day 12, the cow developed hindlimb paresis and was euthanized. Necropsy revealed swelling of some lymph nodes, and white nodules in uterus and right atrial appendage. Histopathological examination revealed B-cell lymphoma. In clonality analysis of peripheral blood and tumor tissue, monoclonal proliferation was detected by PCR for immunoglobulin light chain (IgL) λ, suggesting neoplastic proliferation of B-cell. IgL-PCR is thought to be a possible tool for diagnosis of B-cell lymphoma.
期刊介绍：
JVMS is a peer-reviewed journal and publishes a variety of papers on veterinary science from basic research to applied science and clinical research. JVMS is published monthly and consists of twelve issues per year. Papers are from the areas of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology, pathology, immunology, microbiology, virology, parasitology, internal medicine, surgery, clinical pathology, theriogenology, avian disease, public health, ethology, and laboratory animal science. Although JVMS has played a role in publishing the scientific achievements of Japanese researchers and clinicians for many years, it now also accepts papers submitted from all over the world.
